The 9 Things that Sales Training Must Cover

Sales training in Singapore and the region: people have asked me what topics must a good sales program cover?   To me, there are at least 9 things that all sales training must cover:
  1. How to Look for New Customers without spending on expensive advertising
  2. Getting repeat business from customers
  3. Increasing the average spending of customers
  4. Converting all sales objections into buying reasons
  5. How to Sell the Impossible so as to sell ice to the Eskimos
  6. How to Present your product and service so that your product features make sense for the buyer
  7. Getting past gate keepers and reaching decision makers effortlessly
  8. Service from the heart and how to go the extra mile to serve customers
  9. Asking questions so as to elicit information from buyers and lead them to a sale
On top of that, sales training must also cover the 3 soft skills:
  1. How to set your own sales targets and motivate yourself to work towards your goals
  2. Persuasion, Influence and Negotiation skills
  3. Reading a person like a book.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
